I have put in syslinux 3.70-pre16 code to print the source of this message. You may want to try to grab isolinux from this release and update your CD image to get some useful debugging info out of this.

-hpa

Not being a kernel guru, I'm not sure how to do that hpa?

Where do I get isolinux from please?

how do I update my CD image?

I'm willing to give this a try if it will sort out the problem.

Please CC me as I'm off the list now. Can't seem to get back on again either.

Kind Regards,

Keith
